Coot requires an environment module

In order to use Coot, you must first load the appropriate environment module:

module load coot

This application is available in Open OnDemand.

Running Coot on RCC

Because Coot is a graphical application, it should be run using the RCC Desktop via Open OnDemand (OOD). Running Coot directly on login nodes without a graphical session is not supported.

Launch an RCC Desktop Session

1. Log into Open OnDemand
2. In the top navigation bar, select "Interactive Apps" and then from the drop down, "RCC Desktop".
3. Select the Slurm Account/partition that you want to use for your job. If you leave this blank, the app will run in our genacc_q account.
4. Fill out the rest of the job submission form.
5. Click "Launch" to queue your job.
6. When your interactive job has started, click Launch.
7. A new tab will open, and the RCC Desktop will launch shortly after.

Once the session starts, a Linux desktop environment will open in your browser.

Start Coot

Open a terminal within the OOD Desktop and run:

$ module load coot
$ coot

The Coot GUI will launch in a new window.
